1 Arad fia, tso Kanaanyigba dzi ƒe ŋkutsalawo to mɔ ɖeka kple Israelviwo. Esi Arad fia se be Israelviwo to Atarim mɔ gbɔna la, eho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu, eye wòɖe aboyo woƒe ame aɖewo.
Kwathi inkosi yase-Aradi engumKhenani eyayihlala eNegebi isizwa ukuthi abako-Israyeli babesiza behamba ngomgwaqo beqonde e-Atharimi, yabahlasela abako-Israyeli yaze yathumba abanye babo.
2 Israelviwo ɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be, ne ana yewoaɖu Arad fia kple eƒe amewo dzi la, yewoagbã du siwo katã le afi ma la gudugudu.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wenza lesisifungo kuThixo wathi: “Nxa unganikela lababantu ezandleni zethu, sizachithiza amadolobho abo nya.”
3 Yehowa se woƒe kokoƒoƒo, eye wòna woɖu Kanaantɔwo dzi. Israelviwo gbã woƒe duwo gudugudu. Wona ŋkɔ teƒe ma tso ɣe ma ɣi be, “Horma” si gɔmee nye “Afi si wogbã duwo le gudugudu.”
UThixo walalela ukuncenga kwabako-Israyeli wasenikela amaKhenani kubo. Abako-Israyeli bawaqothula amaKhenani bachithiza kanye lamadolobho awo; ngakho indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi yiHoma.
4 Israelviwo trɔ yi Hor to la dzi, eye woɖo ta anyigbeme lɔƒo to mɔ si ɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la gbɔ la dzi be yewoaƒo xlã Edomnyigba. Nu sia ɖe dzi le Israelviwo ƒo ŋutɔ.
Bahamba besuka entabeni yaseHori ngendlela eqonda oLwandle oluBomvu, ukuze baceze ilizwe lase-Edomi. Kodwa besendleleni abantu basebenengekile sebephelelwe yikubekezela;
5 Wode asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me ɖe Mawu kple Mose ŋu be, “Nu ka ta miekplɔ mí dzoe le Egipte be míava ku ɖe gbedzi le afi sia? Naneke mele afi sia míaɖu o, tsi meli míano o, mana sia hã va ti mí azɔ.”
bakhuluma kubi besola uNkulunkulu kanye loMosi, bathi, “Lasikhuphelani na eGibhithe ukuze sizefela enkangala? Akulasinkwa! Akulamanzi! Futhi lalokhu ukudla kwenu okubi siyakuzonda.”
6 Ale Yehowa dɔ da vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖe Israelviwo dome woɖu ame geɖewo, eye woku.
Ngakho uThixo wasebathumela izinyoka ezazilobuhlungu obesabekayo kakhulu, zabaluma abantu bako-Israyeli abanengi bafa.
7 Ameawo va Mose gbɔ hedo ɣli be, “Míewɔ nu vɔ̃, elabena míeƒo nu tsi tsitre ɖe wò kple Yehowa ŋu. Ɖe kuku na Yehowa na mí be wòaɖe dawo ɖa.” Ale Mose do gbe ɖa ɖe ameawo ta.
Abantu baya kuMosi bathi, “Sonile ngokukhuluma kwethu kubi ngoThixo langokukhuluma kwethu ngawe. Akukhuleke ukuthi uThixo asuse izinyoka lezi phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho wabakhulekela abantu.
8 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Tsɔ akɔbli nàwɔ nu si aɖi da siawo dometɔ ɖeka la da ɖe ati tutu aɖe tame. Ame sia ame si da aɖu la, ne ekpɔ akɔblida la ko la, atsi agbe!”
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Yenza inyoka yethusi uyiphanyeke esigodweni; loba ngubani olunyiweyo angakhangela kuyo uzaphila.”
9 Ale Mose wɔ akɔblida la, eye wòkɔe tɔ ɖe ati si wotu la nu. Ne da ɖu ame aɖe, eye wòwu mo dzi kpɔ akɔblida la ko la, etsia agbe.
Ngakho uMosi wenza inyoka yethusi wayiphanyeka esigodweni. Kwakusithi lowo olunywe yinyoka angakhangela inyoka yethusi aphile.
10 Israelviwo tso afi sia yi Obot. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi ma.
Abako-Israyeli basuka baqhubeka baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Obhothi.
11 Tso Obot la, woyi Iye Abarim le gbedzi afi si te ɖe Moab ƒe ɣedzeƒe ŋu.
Basuka njalo e-Obhothi bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Iye-Abharimi, enkangala eyayimalungana leMowabi ngokuya ngempumalanga.
12 Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Zered tɔʋu la ƒe balime.
Besuka lapho baqhubeka ngohambo baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo esigodini saseZeredi.
13 Wotso eme yi Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ si te ɖe Amoritɔwo ƒe liƒo ŋu. Arnon tɔsisi lae nye liƒo le Moabtɔwo kple Amoritɔwo dome.
Basuka lapho bayamisa izihonqo zabo eduze le-Arinoni esenkangala eqhelela elizweni lama-Amori. I-Arinoni isemngceleni welaseMowabi, phakathi laphakathi kweMowabi kanye lama-Amori.
14 Eya ta woŋlɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe Aʋawɔwɔwo ƒe Agbalẽ la me be, Zahad le Sufa kple Arnon tɔsisi la,
Kungakho uGwalo lweziMpi zikaThixo lusithi: “Lokho akwenza oLwandle oLubomvu lakwenza emifuleni yeWahebhi eseSufa lemifuleni yase-Arinoni
15 tɔʋu la me tsi, si ɖo ta Ar nutowo me eye wòdo liƒo na Moabtɔwo.
lamawa ezindonga ehlela endaweni yase-Ari lasekela umngcele weMowabi.”
16 Tso afi sia la, Israelviwo zɔ mɔ yi Beer. Ŋkɔ sia gɔmee nye “Vudo.” Afi siae Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le be, “Ƒo ameawo nu ƒu, eye mana tsi wo.”
Besuka lapho baqhubeka baze bayafika eBheri, emthonjeni lapho uThixo athi kuMosi, “Buthanisa abantu ngibanike amanzi.”
17 Israel dzi ha be, “Dzi tsi, O vudo! Midzi ha tso tsi la ŋu!
Ngakho abako-Israyeli bahlabela ingoma le ethi: “Mpompoza, wemthombo! Hlabelelani ngawo,
18 Esiae nye vudo si amegãwo kple dukɔ la ƒe bubumewo tsɔ woƒe atikplɔwo kple woƒe atizɔtiwo ɖee la.” Wodzo le gbegbe la,
ngomthombo owenjiwa ngamakhosana, owenjiwa yizikhulu zabantu, izikhulu ezilentonga zobukhosi kanye lezinduku.” Basuka-ke enkangala bayafika eMathana,
19 eye woto Matana, Nahaliel kple Bamot,
besuka eMathana baya eNahaliyeli, besuka eNahaliyeli, baya eBhamothi,
20 eye woyi balime si le Moab ƒe togbɛwo te, afi si gbegbe la kple Pisga to dzena le tso adzɔge.
kwathi besuka eBhamothi baqonda esigodini eMowabi, lapho isiqongo sentaba yasePhisiga esikhangele elizweni elilugwadule.
21 Azɔ la, Israelviwo ɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia gbɔ.
U-Israyeli wathumela izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori wathi:
22 Woɖe kuku na fia la be, “Na míato wò anyigba dzi ayi. Míadze ato agblewo alo wainbɔwo me o, eye míele vudometsi hã no ge o. Míale mɔ gã la tẽ va se ɖe esime míatso wò anyigba me ayi.”
“Sivumele sidabule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikuphambukela loba lakuliphi icele ukuze singene loba kuwaphi amasimu akho kumbe isivini, loba ukunatha amanzi emthonjeni loba yiwuphi. Sizazihambela nje ngomgwaqo omkhulu weNkosi size sedlule elizweni lakho.”
23 Fia Sixɔn gbe mɔɖeɖe na Israel be wòato eƒe anyigba dzi ayi o. Sixɔn ƒo eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu le gbedzi esi woɖo Yahaz.
Kodwa uSihoni kavumanga ukuthi u-Israyeli adabule elizweni lakhe. USihoni waqoqa ibutho lakhe waphuma waqonda enkangala ukuyahlasela u-Israyeli. Wathi esefikile eJahazi walwa lo-Israyeli.
24 Israelviwo ɖu wo dzi, eye woxɔ woƒe anyigba tso Arnon tɔsisi la ŋu va se ɖe Yabok tɔsisi la ŋu, heyi ɖe Amonitɔwo ƒe liƒo dzi. Israelviwo megate ŋu yi ŋgɔ wu afi sia o, elabena Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nye Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo la nye aʋawɔla sesẽwo.
Kodwa u-Israyeli wamnqoba ngenkemba, wambhubhisa njalo wamthathela ilizwe lakhe kusukela e-Arinoni kusiya eJabhoki, kusiyafika elizweni lama-Amoni kuphela, ngoba umngcele walo wawuvikelwe ngemithangala.
25 Israelviwo xɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe duwo katã, eye wonɔ wo me; Hesbon kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe la hã nɔ eme.
U-Israyeli wathatha wonke amadolobho ama-Amori wahlala kuwo, kwakugoqela iHeshibhoni kanye leziqinti ezaziyigombolozele.
26 Hesbon nye Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia ƒe du. Sixɔn wɔ aʋa kple Moabtɔwo ƒe fia xoxo la, eye wòxɔ eƒe anyigba katã yi keke Arnon.
IHeshibhoni kwakulidolobho likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayelwe lenkosi yamaMowabi eyayikade ibusa khona wayinqoba wayithathela ilizwe layo lonke kuze kuyefika e-Arinoni.
27 Eya ta hakpala la gblɔ be, “Va Hesbon, eye nàna woagbugbɔe atu, na woagbugbɔ Sixɔn ƒe du la aɖo te.
Yingakho izimbongi zisithi: “Wozani eHeshibhoni; kayivuselelwe yakhiwe njalo; akuthi idolobho likaSihoni livuselelwe.
28 “Elabena dzo do tso Hesbon, dzo ƒe aɖewo tso Sixɔn ƒe du me. Fia Moab ƒe Ar, Arnon ƒe todzitɔwo,
Umlilo wavutha eHeshibhoni ilangabi lavela edolobheni likaSihoni. Laqothula i-Ari laseMowabi, abantu basemiqolweni yase-Arinoni.
29 baba na wò, O Moab! Wotsrɔ̃ mi, Kemostɔwo! Ena via ŋutsuwo zu sisilawo, eye via nyɔnuwo zu aboyomewo na Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia.
Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Selibhujisiwe lina, Oh bantu baseKhemoshi! Usedele amadodana akhe njengeziphepheli lamadodakazi njengabathunjiweyo bethunjwa nguSihoni inkosi yama-Amori.
30 “Ke míawo míeɖu wo dzi wotsrɔ̃ Hesbon yi keke Dibon míegbã wo yi keke Nofa, yi kekeke Medeba.”
Kodwa thina sibehlule; iHeshibhoni siyitshabalalisile kuze kuyefika eDibhoni. Sibachithile kwaze kwaba seNofa, eqhelela eMedebha.”
31 Ale Israelviwo nɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlala elizweni lama-Amori.
32 Esime Mose ɖo ŋkutsalawo ɖe Yazer megbe la, Israelviwo xɔ du sue siwo ƒo xlãe, eye wonya Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la le woƒe anyigba la dzi.
Ngemva kokuba uMosi esethumele inhloli eJazeri, abako-Israyeli bathumba iziqinti eziseduze njalo baxotsha ama-Amori ayehlala khona.
33 Le esia megbe la, wotrɔ ɖe Basab du la ŋu. Ke Ɔg, Basan fia, kpe aʋa kpli wo le Edrei.
Basebephenduka bahamba ngomgwaqo oya eBhashani. U-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani kanye lebutho lakhe lonke baphuma ukuyahlangana labako-Israyeli ukubahlasela e-Edreyi.
34 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Mègavɔ̃e o, elabena matsɔ eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la kpakple eƒe anyigba la ade asi na wò; eye nawɔe abe ale si nèwɔ fia Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia le Hesbon ene.”
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Ungamesabi, ngoba sengimnikele kuwe lamabutho akhe wonke kanye lelizwe lakhe. Menze konke owakwenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni.”
35 Eva eme nenema tututu. Israel ɖu dzi. Wowu Ɔg, Basan fia, via ŋutsuwo kple eteviwo ale gbegbe be aʋawɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o. Ale Israelviwo xɔ anyigba la.
Ngakho bambulala ndawonye lamadodana akhe kanye lebutho lakhe lonke, kakho loyedwa owaphephayo. Basebethatha ilizwe lakhe.
